The thing about vala is that its simple enough to learn, but is still very
powerful and is extremely fast. The best thing is that it was made for Gtk,
which is perfect for elementary.

More languages would mean that we wouldn't have unity across the
applications - I do however, think that this would attract developers,
especially since vala does not have very good tutorials, or books.
